MPC3SGD LED Panel Indicator Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MPC3SGD is a LED assembly panel indicator manufactured by Bivar Inc. This component is classified as obsolete and is no longer in active production. The MPC3SGD serves as a visual indicator in panel-mounted applications, providing status indication through LED illumination.

Due to its obsolete status, sourcing new original inventory of the MPC3SGD is limited. Organizations requiring functional equivalents must transition to active production alternatives that maintain compatibility with the original electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitute part MPC3GD provides direct functional replacement while maintaining current manufacturing support and compliance certifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MPC3SGD with the MPC3GD is based on the following criteria derived from provided specifications:

Manufacturer Continuity: Both components are manufactured by Bivar Inc., ensuring design consistency and manufacturing standards alignment.

Moisture Sensitivity Level: Both the MPC3SGD and MPC3GD maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating identical moisture handling requirements and storage conditions.

Component Category: Both are LED panel indicator assemblies designed for panel-mount applications with identical functional purpose.

Electrical Parameters: The MPC3GD provides specified electrical ratings (Vf 2.1V typical, If 30mA maximum) that define the operational envelope for this component class.

Mechanical Compatibility: The MPC3GD specifies a 3mm T-1 lens with round domed top and 0.24" (6.10mm) round panel cutout, establishing the mechanical interface standard for this product line.

Production Status: The MPC3GD maintains active production status with current manufacturing support, compliance certifications, and reliable supply chain availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: The MPC3GD is the direct active substitute for the obsolete MPC3SGD. This substitution is supported by:

Manufacturer Alignment: Bivar Inc. manufactures both components, ensuring design heritage and manufacturing process consistency.

Compliance Status: The MPC3GD holds current ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting contemporary regulatory requirements. The MPC3SGD, as an obsolete component, carries no current compliance designation.

Production Support: The MPC3GD maintains active production status with 1087 pieces of new original inventory currently available, ensuring reliable supply for new designs and replacement applications.

Moisture Handling: Both components share MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating no special moisture control requirements during storage, handling, or assembly.

Series Continuity: The MPC3GD belongs to the MPC3 series, representing the current production line for this component category.

Organizations transitioning from MPC3SGD should specify MPC3GD in new designs and procurement activities. Existing inventory of MPC3SGD may continue to be used in maintenance and repair applications where supply permits, but new production should standardize on the MPC3GD.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the MPC3SGD classified as obsolete?

A: The MPC3SGD has been discontinued by Bivar Inc. and is no longer manufactured. The MPC3GD represents the current active production equivalent within the MPC3 series.

Q: What are the key compatibility factors between MPC3SGD and MPC3GD?

A: Both components share identical manufacturer (Bivar Inc.), identical moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), and identical component category (LED panel indicator). The MPC3GD provides specified mechanical dimensions (3mm T-1 lens, 0.24" round cutout) and electrical parameters (2.1V, 30mA) that define the operational standard for this product line.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these components?

A: The MPC3SGD packaging format is not specified in available documentation. The MPC3GD is supplied in Tray packaging. Packaging format should be confirmed with the supplier for specific application requirements.

Q: Does the MPC3GD meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. The MPC3GD is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards. The obsolete MPC3SGD carries no current compliance designation.

Q: Can MPC3SGD inventory be used interchangeably with MPC3GD?

A: Substitution is based on functional equivalence within the MPC3 series. Existing MPC3SGD inventory may be used in maintenance and repair applications. New production designs should standardize on the active MPC3GD to ensure long-term supply continuity and compliance support.

Q: What is the viewing angle specification for the MPC3GD?

A: The MPC3GD provides a 35° viewing angle, suitable for standard panel indicator applications requiring moderate angular visibility.

Q: What is the peak wavelength of the MPC3GD?

A: The MPC3GD operates at 568nm peak wavelength, corresponding to green light emission in the visible spectrum.
